Pray this Lazaroo in utter amazement:

“…you notice me…”
(Ruth 2:10)

Ruth was stunned to be noticed by Boaz, Jesus.

She didn’t know You were at work
preparing his heart to be her husband

preparing her to become great-grandmother to King David
whose line extended all the way

to You.

But she was too humble to predict any of that!

Rise up in me with that same humility, Holy Spirit!

Knowing I don’t deserve to be noticed
being thrilled when –

because of Your love and mercy –

I am.

Pray this Lazaroo with burning zeal:

“I have told the men not to touch you.”
(Ruth 2:9)

Thank You for Your protection, Jesus!

Ruth was a young widow, all alone
putting herself at great risk while she worked in the fields.

But You provided Boaz, a man of standing, integrity and strength

to step in and insure her safety.

Then You piled Your blessings even higher on these two faithful people –

as You always do

for those who seek You with all their hearts.

Pray this Lazaroo with undiluted sincerity:

“…follow along after the girls.”
(Ruth 2:9)

Good advice, Jesus –

so long as the girls are headed in the right direction
so long as they’re doing the right thing.

In this case, they were…and Ruth was safe.

But sometimes the girls – and guys – are headed straight to the pit.
Sometimes what they’re doing is the wrong thing to do.

Which is why when I follow anyone – man or woman –

I’ve got to be doubly…triply
double-dog certain

they’re following You.

Pray this Lazaroo from the depths of your soul:

“Stay here with my servant girls.”
(Ruth 2:8)

That wasn’t a put-down, Jesus.

Boaz told Ruth to stay with his servant girls
because that’s where it was safe.

Bad things can happen to a woman gleaning alone
surrounded by men in a stranger’s field.

Bad things can happen to me, too.

Some already have.

Well, that is, they would have been bad…

except that I’m among Your servants

doing Your work

the only place where it’s eternally safe.

Pray this Lazaroo with unrestrained allegiance:

“So Boaz said to Ruth, ‘My daughter, listen to me…’”
(Ruth 2:8)

Little did he know, Jesus…

that this young woman he called, “daughter”
would soon become his wife.

There’s a lot I don’t know, too, Father.

Thank You for revealing parts of it to me
when I need to know it!

But some of what I wish I knew

You keep hidden.

I don’t know why, but I know this:

There’s a good reason.
And I trust You.
